Like, what's going on? At the same time, the citizens have to suffer. AJ, you know, back in the day, you know, let's say 15 years ago, even in the city because it's a trickle-down effect with the bureaucracy and the corruption, when I needed to pull a permit, like a short-term permit, it used to take me a couple of days, you know, pay a couple hundred bucks. You know, last year, it was taking like two or three months and a few thousand dollars.
SourceI'm like, what happened? Why are businesses being suffocated? Why is life being made so difficult? Why is the bureaucracy so, just, I mean, so debilitating? And these are the things as a California resident that I want to see fixed.
And hopefully by the time I get back there, we have, again, personally, I want to see it go red. I really want to see a hardcore governor that's in there to fix things and to hold people accountable.
You know, that's the goal, at least from my perspective, and a lot of my friends in my circles share the same opinion, just FYI. Dude, I appreciate that. I can hear that in your tone.
Every Californian has that tone, bro. You can hear it right now in my tone. I mean, it's really sad that we have to sometimes travel, leave the state, and then to be inspired.
Like we used to – people used to come to California and be inspired by California. And now that's not the case. It's the exact opposite.
So I really hope we change that. Stealth, I don't know if you had a comment real quick, and then I wanted to go to – who else had their hand up? Tommy? But Stealth, I do see your hand is up. I don't know.
